Coats are not permitted to be worn inside the building.

Headscarves/religious prayer caps must be plain and in school colours (black, red or white). Headscarves must not have loose or trailing material.
An abaya with school logo is now available from our school uniform supplier. This is a non-compulsory item. From January 2024, only school abayas will be permitted. Until this time, students can wear a plain black abaya as long as the school logo is visible e.g. on a school cardigan or school zipped hoodie.
Jewellery
The only jewellery permitted is one pair of ear studs, a small discreet nose stud and a watch. No other piercings or jewellery is allowed and will be confiscated if worn to school.
For Health & Safety reasons students should not wear nail varnish and false nails including gels or any form of nail art.
Hairstyle
Hairstyles and colour must be appropriate for school. Outlandish styles and colours are not permitted.
Equipment
Students must have a bag that is big enough to carry an A4 size folder, school books, pencil case and calculator. Students are expected to bring the following items every day to school: pen, pencil, ruler, eraser, scientific calculator and protractor.
It is highly recommended that students bring a water bottle to school each day. 500ml plastic water bottles or therma bottles are available from our uniform supplier although any named bottle is acceptable.
PE Kit
A complete change of clothing is required for PE lessons.
Students should wear the following:
- Plain black sports shorts, tracksuit bottoms or leggings
- From September 2019 a new style PE kit was introduced consisting of a T-Shirt, Rugby Shirt and a ¼ Zip Top, all with the school logo. This kit was introduced to students in Y7 initially and all students should now be wearing it. It is important to note that not all items from the new kit are compulsory. Students are expected to wear either the new style T-shirt or the new style rugby shirt if parents do not wish to purchase both items.
- Plain black football socks
- Clean sports trainers for use inside the sports hall (football boots/shin pads are optional but useful)
- Headscarves may be worn but must not have loose or trailing material
